I’m not sure if this is necro bumping, but I have to ask: Is there solution to set height of type: entity-button
I pasted your code and I’m very thankful, this is exactly what I looked for, but it would be more eye candy if we could have “ENTER”, " OPTIONS" and “BACK” buttons, same height as “arrow” buttons.
EDIT: Or i would make workaround - would make “ENTER”, " BACK" and “OPTIONS” icons, same dimensions as arrow icons and place them on buttons instead of text 
I’m no expert but when I tried to fix it, I found custom sizing wasn’t supported, probably due to the fact that Lovelace re-arranged to fit different screens and aspect ratios.
I like your idea. As yet another alternative, why not select existing icons that can represent those functions? Thumbs up, X, a cog/gear, etc.
Hi, thanks for info.
First of all, I am very new to HA and later I figured out that out of box, we are not able to put local icons, but only icons from https://cdn.materialdesignicons.com/4.5.95/ (let someone correct me if I’m wrong).
No matter, below is my modded configuration, but all credits goes to @aslongasbassstrings

Of course, cover is also there, when PS is playing, currently is in rest mode.
I just found this: https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card and will try to playing later, after my job
Btw, I don’t know if this is off topic, I also made Tasker - AutoVoice profiles, to run games with voice from my phone, via Tasker and Home Assistant plugin, and if someone is interested in that let me know on PM, I can create topic.
Custom button in the custom components section will let you use any image as a icon. That button will change your life and consume your free time for sure. I use it for 99% of my UI!
This is how i did my PS4 Controls.
Two PS icons for ps and ps_hold buttons.
In general it’s 3 horizontal stacks of button entity:

Hello every one,
I am trying to create a card for my harmony remote.
I followed petro’s setup Harmony Activities, Volume Slider, and Lovelace.
I am now trying to put the cover from my playstation as a state picture.
I managed to find the link for the cover which the entity_picture of the PS4.
I was wondering if there was a way to use entity_picture attribute to generate a link for the state picture.
Here is the code for the card:
aspect_ratio: 0%
entities:
- entity: switch.ps4
- entity: switch.fire_tv
- entity: switch.watch_tv
- entity: switch.listen_to_music
entity: sensor.harmony_activity
hold_action:
action: none
state_image:
Listen to Music: local/music.jpg
Play PS4: #something using media_player.playstation4.entity_picture
PowerOff: local/Poweroff.png
Watch Fire TV: local/fire_tv.jpg
Watch TV: local/tv.jpg
tap_action:
action: more-info
theme: Google Dark Theme
title: harmony
type: picture-glance
Thank you for your help
It’s possible but it takes alot to setup. You need to create a camera and cycle your images sent to the camera. Otherwise, if the URL set on Play PS4 changes, the picture will not update. Now you could also use a template card to get the same behavoir and it will update. I can help with it if you let me know what the entity and attribute is. You’d need to install HACS for custom cards and then get the 100% template card made by iantrich.
Hi petro,
thank you very much for your response.
the PS4 entity is media_player.playstation_4 and the attribute for the cover is entity_picture
Did you get the 100% template card?
yes I have
Ah I forgot about a caveat, you’ll also need the preloader card because you have to use custom elements with it. You’ll need to preload picture-glance card.
type: custom:config-template-card
variables:
- states['media_player.playstation_4'].attributes.entity_picture
entities:
- media_player.playstation_4
- switch.ps4
card:
aspect_ratio: 0%
entities:
- entity: switch.ps4
- entity: switch.fire_tv
- entity: switch.watch_tv
- entity: switch.listen_to_music
entity: sensor.harmony_activity

Thank you very much for you help.
I have installed the preloader but I am no sure how to preload picture-glace card.
Hey everyone!
I have Router A connected to the internet, then I have Router B connected to Router A via ethernet.
My PlayStation4 is connected via ethernet to Router A, while my Raspi running HassOS is connected to Router B.
Internet --- Router A --- Router B --- Home Assistant
|
PS4
If I connect to Router B with my laptop, I can ping the PS4’s IP on Router A, I get a response so I’m able to reach it.
But when I try and pair the component, it won’t find my PS4 even if I type in the IP manually during the configuration.
Also the ps4 2nd screen app won’t find the PS4 if I connect my phone to Router B, but it finds it if I connect my phone to Router A.
Do you guys have any idea on how I could make it work please?
Thank you very much!
Still working on my auto button idea. But i have an issue with the entity pics. Any ideas how to import the links to the image files in json file that the ps4 integration is using to node red so i can use it to update the image on the sensor
Got it to work now i have 4 generic app sensors and 4 generic game sensors.that contains the 4last app/games i started on the ps4.
next step is to create template switches for them. but i think that will be the easy part
Can you share how you achieved this? I’m interested to see how you did this, to use with PS4 and possibly other entities
Sure . it may not be the prettiest or most effetive but i got it to work.

in short it checks the state of the ps4 (here named pandoras_box) every minute or so, then it picks up the info in the ps4 integration data file .ps4-games.json i dom some formatting and moving the payload around then i pick up the state again from the ps4 (you dont get all the info in the scheduled one as you get in the triggered one) then i clean it again, and then splt it based on app or game and start sending the data to populate the first sensor. in this I always update the firts sensor (ex. ps4_app_1), but if the payload and the ps4_app_1 does not match based on media content id it also sends it to the second sensor to trigger an update to copy the old ps4_app_1 data into ps4_app_2. and so on until it it comes to a ps4_app_x that have the same values as the one before (ps4_app_x-1) used to have.
so thats how it works in semi-short.
if you have any improvements let me know.

short note. this just creates the sensors and you have to rename the entities in HA.
i am working on the switch part to be able to start a recently used game or app. will post that code also when done
Thanks a lot, I’ll experiment with your code !
here is the code for my related switch
ps4_game_1:
value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('remote.vardagsrum', 'current_activity', 'Ps4') and is_state('media_player.pandoras_box', 'playing') and ( state_attr('sensor.ps4_game_1', 'media_title') == state_attr('media_player.pandoras_box', 'source')) }}"
entity_picture_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.ps4_game_1', 'entity_picture') }}"
turn_on:
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
entity_id: media_player.pandoras_box
data_template: {
source: "{{ state_attr('sensor.ps4_game_1', 'media_title') }}"
}
turn_off:
- service: media_player.media_stop
entity_id: media_player.pandoras_box
